We all know that there isn\u2019t always a data connection everywhere we go. However, there are assets to collect and observations to make everywhere. Collector understands this and enables you to get your work done independent of a reliable, or even any, data connection. Follow along, taking the steps below to try collecting data offline.<\/p>\n

In this scenario, you are a gas company employee and you need to inspect service lines in Aurora, IL. No one needs to see your inspections immediately, so the protocol you follow is to work offline, syncing your changes once you are back in the office. You\u2019ll take the area of the map offline, do your inspections, then sync your changes to make them available to others.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","content":"
